How is your XFS volume mounted?  Did you add the "noatime" and 
"nodiratime" directives?  If you have battery backed storage, I would 
highly recommend using "nobarrier" as well 
(http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html#wcache_persistent).

How full is the XFS partition?  Performance suffers greatly when the 
filesystem usage rises above about 80%.
